Day By Day by Chris Muir

The American Association of Retired Persons – AARP has been a LEFT-WING spewing organization for many years. Although I am eligible I have NOT joined and NEVER will. They do NOT represent me on American health care or anything else.

The American Medical Association is a strange endorser of Obamacare. Perhaps the physicans that do belong to the AMA (and their membership has been eroding lately and NOT every MD belongs) are either big government, public health types or they are just scared as to not be a part of a reform solution. I do know that many physicans that are my age WILL retire if the government takes over the remainder of private medicine. How will Obama and Pelosi deal with a lack of trained professionals?

With last Tuesday’s election results in Virginia and New Jersey, I continue to hold that Obamacare with a public option has a slim chance of passing into law. The GOP will NOT support it in the Senate (even Senator Olympia Snowe) and neither will a few Democrats like Senator Joe Lieberman. The Democrat majority will not be able to invoke cloture (prevent a filibuster). Now, reconcilation may be a different matter – but very risky politically in an upcoming midterm congressional election year.

Exit question: Will Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid push Obamacare through at the political risk of their members?

Not really shocking, now is it?

CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group’s position on health care.

Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, “I’m extremely disappointed in AARP.”

Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, “I don’t wanna be connected with AARP.”

Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News.

The Seniors have finally figured out that the AARP is a left-wing front organization. I think they will bleed members unless they move more towards the center of the political spectrum.

Frankly, I don’t need a senior associaton to represent me but I don’t want one that works against MY interests like the AARP.

AARP to their members: “We do not support President Obama’s health care plan”

A gaffe, a mistake or blatant misrepresentation?

President Obama today suggested that the health care reform legislation for which he’s pushing has been endorsed by the American Association of Retired Person.

“We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors,” the president said.

At another point he said: “Well, first of all, another myth that we’ve been hearing about is this notion that somehow we’re going to be cutting your Medicare benefits.  We are not.  AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?”

The problem?

The AARP hasn’t endorsed any plan yet.

The country’s largest advocacy group for Americans over 50 issued a statement after the event saying, “While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.”

Come on, Mr. President – at least get your facts straight.

How can any American believe Obama on health care when he begins spewing the rhetoric without regards to reality.

Obamacare is sinking by the minute.

Yeah, Flap received a birthday card on my 50th birthday at my dental office. Now, how they found this address and not my home address is anyone’s guess.

But, like other Left-Wing advocacy groups pretending to be charities or non-partisan, their mailers soon hit the trash bin before my receptionist even carried back the bills and correspondence. I really have never had any use for them.

Joe Biden is becoming a liability for President Obama. Does anyone think he will remain on the ticket in 2012?

When will Hilary and Bill finally figure out that Secretary of State is a dead-end job and demand to be placed as Obama’s second in command? Uhhhhh – when the heat ratchets up on Biden’s gaffes from the Clinton Cabal.

+++++++++++
A reminder to all Flapsblog readers:

The annual Day By Day fundraising drive is under way.

One of Flap’s pet peeves are LEFT WING controlled business like the AARP that stealthily hide their ideologically zeal and advocacy. Another such business is Progressive Insurance.

Exit question: Why does the LEFT routinely bash insurance companies when so many of them are controlled by the LEFT in this country and/or are receiving massive government bailouts?

By the way, Flap, although eligible, will never belong to AARP.
